Position in scrollable window

[Simon Waller]

I am displaying a text string in a indicator with scroll bars. The text in the string is being updated as I read more data. By default, the text is displayed with the beginning of the string visible then scroll bars when it is too long to fit in the window. Is there any way to make the indicator keep the end of the string (ie the most recent data) in view instead of the beginning?

There is a property node named "Scroll position". You just need to wire a constant with a large value to get the cursor postioned at the end of the text.

Hi Simon,

You could add in the string length function to get the value that you want to wire to the scroll position so that it'll take you to the end of the string.

Hope this helps
